President Donald Trump stated that he anticipates having the 'honor' of 'taking' Cuba, just days after the communist government of the island admitted to engaging in discussions with the United States.
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump declined to specify whether any possible US intervention in Cuba would resemble that of Venezuela or Iran, while confidently asserting that he can do 'anything I want with' the island.
'I think Cuba's seeing the end,' the POTUS warned. 'You know, all my life I've been hearing about the United States and Cuba. When will the United States do it?'
Trump halted the supply of discounted Venezuelan oil to the island after his raid on Caracas on January 3, which resulted in the overthrow of Venezuela's leader Nicolás Maduro.
The US President warned of the possibility of imposing tariffs on any nation that exports oil to Cuba, resulting in fuel shortages on the island, leading to extensive electricity blackouts.
Cuba, however, has consistently opposed any external interference in its domestic matters and views any suggestions in this regard as a dealbreaker for any potential agreement.
